Module A2.3 - Human Biology II

Coordinator

Prof. Dr. Christoph Biskup

Lecturers

• Biomolecular Photonics Group: Prof. Dr. Christoph Biskup, PD. Dr. Christian Melle
• Institute of Physiology I: Prof. Dr. Christoph Schmidt-Hieber, PD Dr. Andrea Ebersberger
• Experimental Nephrology Group: Prof. Dr. Ralf Mrowka

Content

• Anatomy and physiology of organ systems (in continuation of Human Biology I):  Cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal System, kidney and urinary system
• Blood, immune system
• Neuroanatomy and neurophysiology

Components of the module

• Virtual lectures: Please, follow the links in the moodle room or on the download page to view the lectures.
• In the moodle room also additional material, i.e. exercise sheets and plenty of review questions are availabele.
• Seminars: Seminars/tutorials to discuss remaining questions will take place in the lecture hall of the former Institute of Human Genetics. Enter the historic courtyard of the Medical Theoretical Institutes to get access to the lecture hall. A detailed map can be found here.

Additional help

To help you in learning Human Biology the following tools can be borrowed/obtained:

• Molecular models: A set of color coded atoms such as the one used in the lecture videos can be borrowed from the Biomeolecular Photonics group.
• Virtual microscopy: Virtual microscope of the Dept. of Anatomy (link)

Requirements to complete this module

• Self study of the recommended textbook chapters. For this course we will use the 2nd edition of the OpenStax Anatomy & Physiology book. The textbook is available free of charge at https://openstax.org/details/books/anatomy-and-physiology-2e. A pdf of the book can be downloaded here.
• Self study of the online lectures
• Regular work on the exercises
• Successful participation in the written exam
